This Under the Hood from the Worlds takes a closer look at Mason Fuller’s SWORKz S35-5.
Like his European teammate Juan Carlos Canas, Mason is running an almost bone-stock SWORKz buggy. The interesting differences are in the setup.

A largely standard S35-5
The SWORKz team appears to be running what is largely the standard box kit, without titanium screws or modifications. Mason’s car follows that approach, but his setup choices look quite different from those on Canas’ buggy.
Shocks and springs
Mason has leaned the shocks in further than Canas, whose shocks were more upright.
He also appears to be running low-frequency springs rather than the high-frequency-style springs the team usually uses.
Rear links, toe-in and differential position
Mason has chosen a steep rear upper-link angle, mounting the link low on the shock tower. He is also running one degree less rear toe-in than Canas.
His anti-roll bars look noticeably thicker by eye than his teammate’s, although we do not have measurements to confirm their sizes.
Another difference is the differential position: Mason has opted for the higher position, which was not part of the Canas setup we examined.
Body and wing
Mason has chosen the JConcepts S15 bodyshell and injection-moulded Razor rear wing.
